I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

The scope of activities of the Xiongnu has always been in the north of the Han Dynasty, and the Jieguo is in the northwest of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, although there are other small countries in the northeast, there is no one who can have a large number of cavalry except the Xiongnu.

Liu Tan took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, knowing that he was the last person to panic at this time, if he panicked too, he would be defeated like a mountain.

He said in a deep voice: "Go find out how many cavalry there are!"

After passing the order, Liu Tan slowly sat down and looked at the sand table. For the first time, he knew what changing the situation is.

It's true that one second he thought he had the chance to win, but the next second he might be overthrown.

He really wanted to tell himself that the Huns might just be passing by, but he couldn't deceive himself, it would be too coincidental if they were just passing by.

Liu Tan waited for a long time. Of course, it is not appropriate to say that it is a long time. In fact, it was only half an hour. In such a vast land, this time is really nothing.

He was a little startled by the number reported by the scouts, and it was roughly estimated that there were at least 300 people.

Liu Tan has seen how huge a team of hundreds of people is, so he doesn't think this number is too small.

What's more, it was three hundred Hun cavalry, maybe they were well-trained cavalry.

Liu Tan knew that once the [-] cavalry formed support for Jieguo, the advantage they had gained before would basically be gone.

After all, the city gate has not been opened until now, even if the city gate is opened, it does not mean that the city is really occupied.

Liu Tan thought for a long time and suddenly raised his head and said, "Order five hundred soldiers and horses, follow me to meet the Xiongnu."

After hearing this, Miao Rui immediately knelt down to Liu Tan: "Your Highness, Your Highness can't put yourself in danger!"

Liu Tan walked out of the tent and looked up at the sky. The starry sky seemed to be inlaid with broken diamonds in the sky. It was so beautiful that it was unbelievable.

He took a deep breath and said, "Except for me, who can lead the army here?"

They almost put all their eggs in one basket to attack the city, and all capable officers were sent there. Even if his place is not an empty city now, but... Liu Tan does not believe that they can deal with the Xiongnu.

Of course, Liu Tan didn't think he could handle it, so the output wasn't enough to make up the equipment. He asked people to prepare a lot of quicklime, and then made lime bags with sackcloth, and at the same time, everyone carried water on their bodies.

Quicklime becomes hot when it comes into contact with water, and can even burn people. He didn't believe that the Huns could have rough skin and thick flesh enough to endure such pain.

What's more, if they can bear it, there will be water vapor that will interfere with their vision.

What Liu Tan wanted to do was not to fight to the death with the Huns. He only needed to hold back the Huns cavalry for a while. He calculated that as long as he could hold them for an hour, he would basically be able to make a time difference. It is useless for cavalry to rush there, unless they want to be surrounded by the army.

Even if Miao Rui and Bi Gao both knelt down, Liu Tan's decision would not change. Fortunately, he had already made various plans before coming, including lime bags.

However, in the end, I decided not to use this thing when attacking the city. After all, if I threw it on the city wall, my own people would have to climb the city wall in the end, and no one could guarantee that my own people would not be injured.

Before setting off, Liu Tan told the cavalry behind him: "Remember, throw the bag in your hand first when you meet it, and throw it with your eyes. You don't need to save face for them!"

The soldiers behind were at a loss and didn't know what it was, but they still subconsciously chose to trust Liu Tan.

Liu Tan took a deep breath, and set off with others, but this time he was not the leader, because he only had the leather armor he got in a hurry, so everyone was worried that he would be injured, so he was placed at the end of the team .

Liu Tan felt a little regretful looking at the people in front of him. He would have asked Huo Guang to prepare the battle armor if he knew it earlier.

It's good now, not to mention the battle armor, he doesn't even have a mask. I don't know if Liu Che will be angry if his face is disfigured and he goes back?

Liu Tan was thinking about what was there and what was not. He leaned over and galloped on the horse, not to mention anything else. It was true that he found that his riding skills had improved a lot. Sure enough, he really didn't know himself if he didn't push himself Where is the potential.

The location of the Huns cavalry that the scouts poked out was not far away, at least it was just dawn when Liu talked about it.

Because there is also a desert there, other cavalry suddenly appeared on the flat ground, even if the Huns were stupid, they would know that they were rushing towards them.

The clothes of the soldiers of the big man are very recognizable, which is different from any place here. Not only did the Hun cavalry not be afraid after seeing them, they even rushed up with whistles.

Liu Tan's heart tensed, and he deliberately lagged behind, not wanting to go over to add food to the other party, but he still yelled: "Throw it!"

In fact, this is not a good time for throwing. At least the Huns are still some distance away from them. It is best to wait for the opponent to get closer before throwing.

But because Liu Tan was nervous when facing such a scene for the first time, he lost his judgment for a while. Of course, even if he was not nervous, he might not be able to judge well.

But thanks to his yelling early, the Huns came very quickly. Their horses looked much better than those of the big Han cavalry, and their speed and strength were not comparable to theirs.

So when Liu Tan finished shouting and everyone subconsciously obediently threw it out, the oncoming Huns happened to catch up.

Of course, these Xiongnu would not be really foolishly hit. When they saw something being smashed, their first reaction was to hide. If it was too fast and too close to hide, they would use their knives to hack it.

The Xiongnu's knives are very sharp, at least they can't handle the sack, so the lime sack was easily cut by them.

When Liu Tan saw that the first lime bag was cut, he immediately tightened the reins to make the little white horse stop, and at the same time gave orders: "Stop!"

The soldiers didn't know why, but they stopped accordingly.

Of course, there were also those who felt that the fifth prince had no experience in fighting and would not stop there, so what greeted them was a big gift bag of lime.

After the Huns cut through the bags of lime, the dust inside instantly scattered and covered them all.

Liu Tan laughed when he saw the Huns covered in quicklime. These people were also unlucky, they happened to be traveling against the wind, and most of the quicklime was not in vain.

Then he ordered: "Splash water!"

The Huns over there were flustered after being splashed all over their heads by their pockets, but the leader was very calm and could control the horse and shout something to the people behind him, but quicklime fell out of his mouth instantly when he opened his mouth. The tone of that sentence changed immediately after it was said.

The Huns knew the truth and were ready to rush over in one go, otherwise they would be the ones who died waiting.

As a result, just as he was about to rush over, his head was covered with water again.

The Huns have question marks all over their heads. What kind of new way of fighting is this?

Just when they were wondering, they soon felt the scorching pain on their bodies.

The large amount of heat released by the quicklime when it meets water is not something ordinary people can bear, and the exposed skin of the Huns can be seen with blisters like burns.

Many Huns even fell off their horses and rolled on the ground in pain, shouting something.

Liu Tan stretched out his hand to comfort the little white horse who was frightened by the screams, and the rapid beating of his heart had not yet calmed down.

The Huns at the front basically had no fighting power, but the Huns at the back were better, and there were even some people who were not injured, but they didn't dare to come forward at this time.

Liu Tan heard a Hun chattering on the opposite side, and after the other party finished speaking, Liu Tan was silent for a while before he said confidently: "I don't understand, come on!"

He knew from the very beginning that it was impossible to rely on quicklime to win this battle. What he wanted was to slow down the Huns' offensive and cause a small reduction in the number of opponents, and then it might be much easier.

The light cavalry of the big man has never been dominant, and there is no way to do this.

Of course Liu Tan would not rush forward, he had to look at the place to lead by example, and there were even two people around him protecting him, um, these two were the embroidered emissaries sent by Liu Che.

They protected Liu Tan to a safe place, and the position was relatively high. Liu Tan rode on the horse and looked at it for a while, and suddenly frowned: "No, the number is wrong."

The two people around him could also see it, but they didn't want to say anything.

Liu Tan took a quick look. If he didn't have lame eyes, these people would only be more than 100 people. It was reported that there were at least 300 Hun cavalrymen. So... where did the remaining 100 people go?
